Over the years I've documented the price of Chellino Scamorza Cheese - which...you know by now...is the best low-moisture pizza cheese.  The last time I posted a price was at the end of 2022 and the price was out-of-control with a ball going for $12.53 from Pete's .  A year earlier, December of 2021 the price at Angelo Caputo's was at $6.99 .  Which means it almost doubled in 2022.  WOWOWOW.  Here it was for $7.99 in November 2021 .  It had been hanging around the $5.99 to $7.99 price range for as long as I've been buying it.  So that $12.53 jump at Pete's was a big increase.  #CheeseInflation.

I heard this discussed on TheDis Unplugged podcast last week (yes...shameful, I know.  But, I listen to some Disney podcasts.) and I think they had it right.  I'm going to riff off what they said because I think it is worth noting and something consider before you groan about Disney 'raising prices'. Almost NOBODY buys a 1 day ticket for Dis...
